Trócaire has just launched it's 2019 Lenten Appeal, but where does all the money go?

Each year people in Northern Ireland donate around £2.4million to the charity, combined with several million Euro raised in the Republic of Ireland.

This year's campaign will be used to help progress two projects protecting people left landless in the developing world.

Trocaire's calling for a legally binding UN treaty to protect people in the developing world from human rights violations.

It also looks to protect Landowners from big corporations forcing them off thier land unfairly, and without adequate support.

The charity claims the race for natural resources in the developing world has led to land more than 34 times the size of Northern Ireland being sold to corporations since 2000.

This year's Trócaire lenten campaign will focus on land and human right's abuses worldwide. They're seen as some of the root causes of worldwide issues as people are forced off land and into poverty. The charity also wants a UN treaty holding large corporations to account. pic.twitter.com/6VS4ag9CWm
